How to Draw Water Reflections

Reflections in water are one of many things that stymie artists. It is because they get engaged in the details and not in the substance of what they are trying to draw or paint. Simplifying what you look at, finding a way to represent that in value masses, having those masses engaged structurally, that is a recipe for consistently better results.

This week I examine a river scene and I show how I would approach the scene, both structurally and in exaggerating the prominence of the existing value masses.

Here is a link to a 7 minute demonstration of my drawing this image.
